CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Preparations are
already being silently made for the great
anti-anarchist drama of the 11th of No
vember. Already orders have been
given, it is said to-day, to the members
of the Second regiment, l. N. e., that
they will be required to be on duty for
full week or perhaps longer period
prior to Nov. II, at their armOry, or
wherever else their services may be re-
quired. The probability is that the
First regiment will be called upon to do
the same. 1t is understood, however,
that neither of the regiments will be
called from their respective armOries
unless in the case of absolute need.
1t is also stated on authority that
the entire block on which the
county jail and the criminal court build
ing are located will be cordoned with
police, and all the North Clark street
buildings abutting on the Jail will be
guarded with police officers and no one
allowed to enter them until after the eX-
ecntion of the condemned men. In
order to save the great family of curiOs-
ity seekers who are ambitious to see
their condemned fellcw men swing into
eternity, it may be stated that the sheriff
has already, decided to to limit the
number of those present to those
that the law requires to be pres
ent, and to a very few representatives
of the press.
THE GLOOM
which has marked the condemned men,
with one exception, for several days
past still continues to deepen. The eX-
ceptiOn is that of Parsons, who still in
flrllr n oh Irit nd
laughs and jokes with those who call
upon him. The others, however, make
no longer any attempt to conceal their
feelings or to blind themselves to the
fate which threatens them. 1t is stated
by certain persons, who claim to have
good reasons for what they say, that
Gov. OgelSby will grant the condemned
men breif respite, so that they will
not be limited to bare fort
night to prepare themselves for
death. On the morning of the
day during which there shall be
a probability of the United States SUI
preme courts decision arriving in the
city, probably Thursday morning, the
guard upon the condemned men will be
doubled, or trebled, aud the freedom
which they have hitherto enjoyed will be
materially curtailed. No one will be al
lowed to visit them at all. This latter
precaution will be taken to avoid the
possibility of any one furnishing the
prisoners with poison, or other means
of suicide. Quite sensation was
caused to-day among the inmates of the
women's department of the Jail by an
official request that they
HELP MAKE THE SHROUDS AND CAPS
to be used at the execution of the COLI
demned men. Some of the inmates
were willing to do the work required,
and were even anxious to participate in
the CHASTITY task, but others were strong
ly opposed to rendering any aid, and
these formed so large part of the in
mates that it may be necessary to have
the work done outside the Jail. The
material-white unbleached muslin
has already been pur .hased. Each
shroud will be shaped like bag, only
with holes at both ends, and gathered
closely at the top. The hoods will be
half yard in width and about the same
length, gathered together at the top,
which will be about ten inches across.
The material is cut into the necessary
shape, and lacks nothing but the stitches
that were asked to-day of the motley
crowd of women malefactors confined
in the same prison with the seven death
sentenced anarchists.
